Minneapolis at Louisville. atllwaukee at Columbus. " Kansas City at Toledo. William Kellum had good use of his whip" yesterday, and he beat the Minneapolis players into submission with his puzs ling curves. He allowed them a total of five hits, scattered through as many different innings, and the Millers were given their third shutout of the series by a score of t to 0. Indianapolis did not carry off any bljo ribbons in the batting department as the champions only registered five hits, but three of them came in the first Inning, which gave the Hoosiers their first ' run. The runs secured in the eighth were the result of a mixture of mispjays on the part of the visitors. The game was witnessed by a large crowd, but there were only a few plays to make the playing interesting. Pitchers' batties as a rule are seldom very exciting to the fans, as the spectators desire to see a lot of stick work. While the Millers plied up four errors they only partially affected the general result, as Indianapolis scored one In tire first that proved to be enough to win, and the errors gave the home toam the two additional runs in the eighth. i nc support given Kellum In his effort to hut out the visitors was very clean, although few sensational plays were made. O'Brien's catch of Lally's fly in short center in the fourth was the feature of the fielding. O'brien also carried off the fielding honors just at the close of the game by making a beautiful double play, retiring the fide in the ninth and ending the contest. FOX LED 8TICK WORK. Captain Fox led the stick work, securing three of the Ave hits credited to Indianapolis. He was the only one who was able to make a very good record off Vasblnd-r. The champions took kindly to Vasbinder's curves in the first game of the series and batted him all over the lot. After the first inning yesterday Fox was the only one who could locate Vasbinder's curves. Vasbinder showed his great respect for Coulter's hitting ability in two different innings of yesterday's game. In the sixth with two out and a man on third, Vasbinder deliberately Issued free transportation to the Indianapolis slugger. Coulter stole second and O'Brien walked, but Jones forced O'Brien at second. Again in the eighth Vasbinder intentionally passed Coulter and later Jones came up for another attempt. With the r.M of a wild throw by Mclntyre h scored two runs. One Minneapolis batter hit safely in the first inning, but he did not succeed In making the circuit. Hogrlever opened the Indianapolis half by driving the ball to center a aiugir cs i va aui aii ii iw r vis IfcCreery's fumble. Fox beat out an infield attempt. Herdon hit to Martin and a double pla.r ensued on which Hogriever pranced home. Coulter hit to right center for a double, but O'Brien was retired from pitcher to first. In the third Oyler led off with a single but aas caught off second. After him Vasbinder fanned. McCreery reached the initial sack on O'Brien's error, but Spooner flew to Jones. Jones's error and a single gave the Millers a chance in the fourth, but fast fielding prevented them from scoring. Another opportunity was offered the Millers to score in the ninth, but a double play retired the side. The two runs registered by Indianapolis In the eighth were gifts. Fox walked and He J don sacrificed him to second. Coulter walked and on O'Brien's long fly to center Fox took third. Jones hit to Mclntyre, who made a wild throw to first. Fox and Coulter scoring and Jones taking third. Kihm then went out from third to first. Score: Indianapolis. A.B. R. H. O. A. E.

Ladies' day again to-morrow. No game at Washington Park to-day. Kellum will probably pitch for Indianapolis at Muncie on Sunday. Ford will pitch for Indianapolis in the game against St. Paul to-morrow. Three shut-outs against Minneapolis was a very good record, it was a pity the champions could not make it four straight. Four Indianapolis pitchers are now In good shape Kellum, Ford. McPartlin and Williams. Newlin s conditon Is still a matter of doubt. Two games will be played at Washington Park Saturday afternoon between Indianapolis and 8t. Paul, and with good weather the attendance should be the largest of the season. The first game will be called at 2:16. St. Paul comes to-morrow, and the series with the Saints should attract large crowds. Indianapolis and St. Paul are now fighting for second place, the Saints having a slight advantage. Manager Watklns believe that the race for the pennant will be between th champions and Manager Kelly's team, as he says Milwaukee will not figure in the race when the Brewers strike a losing streak.

Polo Grounds and Manhattan Field May Be Thrown To;ether-Hls Consolidation Ideas. Fifty thousand persons at a ball game in New York is a probability President John T. Brush, of the New York club, expects will be realized if the Giants continue to play winning ball. He admits the likelihood of the Polo Grounds and Manhattan Field having to be thrown together to accommodate the growing attendance. Discussing the victorious Western trip of the Giants Mr. Brush, in an interview in New York, credited their success to harmony and co-operation among players and Manager McGraw s skill. He saya he hasn't given a thought to the proposed consolidation of the two leagues. He believes one league of about eight clubs is all the public wants. "There are certain baseball critics," said Mr. Brush in that easy, comprehensive way of his, "who, reviewing the Giants early in the season, assigned them to the last position. Had it been possible to force the bottom out and drag them still lower they would have done so. As the days lengthened, however, there were some who said that there might be a ray of hope that the New York team would tall in with the first division or top the second section. This was all done on paper, and the equations were masterpieces of mathematics. McGraw's men have now played a few games and they are not In the second division. "When you get a team that first cart play ball, then next thinK you want is to have them play together harmoniously. There is harmony among the Giants. They play together. They are now a fine piece of machinery. What one man may lack another man has. McGraw knows each man, his abilities and limitations as an astronomer knows the orbits of the stars. Having learned this he can direct. The stars obey nature s direction. McGraw is manager of the New York team. He is tho best manager in the country." Mr. Brush would not discuss the financial success of his team. In answer to questions as to whether the receipts thus far would pay the club's expenses for the year, he said: "I think the public is mort- interested in good ball playing than in the proceeds of the exhibitions. I believe, however, that the biggest attendance at any baseball game was 11.&00, which registered at the opening game with Pittsburg on the Polo Grounds. Since then the attendance has certainly not been a source of worry to us." CONSOLIDATION SCHEMK. "What do you think of the talked -of consolidation of the two leagues, Mr. Brush?" "I haven't given it a thought," returned the president of the New York club. "I have heard that Mr. Johnson once voiced the opinion that there was ample patronage In the country for two leagues. I always was of the opinion that the public liked to see one race at a time, and a race In which

the field was not so large as to confuse. In my opinion eight teams are suiflcient for any league." "Do you think that the showing of the American League New York team has anything to do with Mr. Johnson's change of front?" was asked. "It seemed, on paper." answered Mr. Brush, "that If the Giants were going to slump and the'r rivals make a splendid showing the public would off with the old love and on with the new. Fate has not yet allowed us to decide on the truth or folly of this. However. I still believe that, though the country be large enough for two leagues, it is certainly small enough for one." "You have no interest in this consolidation scheme?" "I know nothing of it beyond what I read in the papers. I have not been consulted. I tnlnk my opinions are pretty well known as to the consolidation scheme. They are that the most enthusiastic of fans do not care vO follow more than eight teams." "Do you think that the Giants will win the pennant?" "I know where the New York team stands to-day," concluded Mr. Brush, "but who knows where they will stand to-morrow? If anybody did," he added, smiling shrewdly, "where would the interest be?" DIVIDE GAMES AT BOSTON

SENSATIONAL FINISH BY S A V ABLE, LI Ml 1ST AND JUDGE HIME8. Last Named Would Hare Won Instead of Snrnble Had Distance Been Longer Only Heads Apart. CHICAGO. June 17. -The Derby trial special at Harlem to-day furnished one of the most sensational finishes of the year. Savable, Linguist and Judge Himes, in a fierce drive that commenced at the head of the stretch, came under the wire as named, heads barely apart. Savable, the American Derby favorite, held at 1 to 2 in the race to-day. showed wonderful gameness at a time when he appeared beaten, but Gray, who had the mount, held Savable together and rode him out to victory. Probably the most remarkable run by any of the seven starters was that of Judge Himes, winner of the Kentucky Derby and Hawthorne handicap. Trailing along far back until reaching the stretch, he closed with a hair-raising rush and would certainly have won had the distance been a mile and a quarter or the Derby route of a mile and a half, accord ing to the belief of the majority of horse men and trainers at the track. Bernays, highly touted for the Derby and second to Savable in the M. Lewis Clark stakes, was never a factor in to-day's contest. Fearing injury from interference, Gray had instruc tions from Trainer Wishard to go to the front with Savable and keep him clear. Gray obeyed as well as he could, but Sav able was unable to outsprint Linguist until the half mile pole. There he got In front. and at the final eighth pole looked a cer tain winner. Then Linguist ana judge Himes began to close in on the favorite. and not until the judges hung out the num bers could it be really certain how the three had finished. The absentees from the race were Claude, Manru and Au Kevoir. Savable was made favorite, with Bernays a second choice at 4 to L Gregor K. and Linguist were equal third choices at 8 to 1.

Every sunny hour between the downpours of the last two we-ks has been utilized at the Coney Island track to rake and dry the Suburban course, and It not likely to be heavy, in spite of the rain. On the eve of the great race E. R. Thomas, the young millionaire, a recent recruit to the turf, haa furnished another sensation by purchasing the control of Jockey Rice from L. V. Bell. Mr. Thomas paid Mr. Bell $60.000 for Hermis a month ago. and is said to have given $5,000 for Rice's contract, with runs for two years. The boy's salary. It la said., will be $10,000 a year. He rode Hermis in all of his victories last year, but the most frequent comment on his riding was that the horse won in spite of the Jockey. The starters named for the big race, their probable riders and the time of their trials for the Suburban follow: Hermis. 128 (Rice) 2:13H Major Daingertield. 12S iBullman) z.v:Goldsmith, 116 (Burns) 2:13 Col.

Martin) Raced Zoroaster. 108 Doubtful starter While Art.culate and Injunction would seem to have done best, this Is not the case. Injunction was driven to the limit, while Hermis did his trial under double wraps. Goldsmith was hard held and full of running. Waterboy was only galloping at the end of the trial, and Col. Hill. Articulate. City Bank and Glenwater fully satisfied their trainers that they are on edge for the struggle. As trainers look at It to-night, with a muddy track In sight, the general opinion Is that Waterboy will win if he can beat Major Daingertteld, and Hermis will beat them both If he has recovered his old form. Mud, however, does not suit Hermis, while it greatly helps the chances of Major Iaingerfield. The latter Is likely to be the post favorite. Irish Lad takes up twelve pounds for his victory in the Brooklyn handicap. Goldsmith is at 5 to 2 and Major Dalng rfleld S to 1 in the betting forecasts to-night, with from 5 to 8 to 1 against Irish Lad, Col. Bill, Hermis, Igniter, Africander and Heno.

Savable Remains n Favorite at S to 1Dlck Wells May ot Be Start Gold Bell May Raa. CHICAGO. June 17. Judge Himes. th winner of the Kentucky Derby and the Hawthorne Handicap, is now one of the second choiceg for the American Derby. After his race in the Derby special trial at Harlem to-day his price was cut to 8 to 1, making him an equal choice with Claude and Bernays. It is the belief of horsemen that Judge Himes could have beaten Savable to-day had the race been a slightly longer one, and his performance on a fast track was surprising. Savable remains a favorite at 2 to 1 despite his narrow victory In the Derby trial. The fact that he was driven out In a ml!e and an eighth race makes him a weak candidate and leaves the race s mors pussling proposition. The tendency will be to enlarge the fleld. and the number of boreal that go to the post may exceed fifteen. Fore-and-Aft. the Tenneesee candidate, arrived at Washington Park to-day from Detroit and waa breezed alx furlongs. He resembles Irish Lad and Is being strongly supported. The probable Derby fleld has undergone some changes. Dick Welles may not start In the race, and Skillful, a stable companion of Judge Himes. Is also out of It. There is doubt aa to whether Au Re voir will bt started. John F. Schorr haa announced that he wll) send Gold Bell In the Derby. Rad News Is now a certain starter, and Collonade may accompany Bernaya. of the samt stable, to the post. Banter Is also regarded aa a certain member of the field. John A. Drake denied to-day that he had made an offer to Jockey Bullman to take a Derby mount. Drake said he had never entertained such a thought and had already made final arrangements for Irrster Retfl and Chariee Gray to ride Savable and Hlgft Chancellor. Reiff will probably ride Sav able. J. B. Respess haa engaged Jockey aflltna Henry to ride one of his Derby horsea. The regular Jockey. T. Knight, will ride Bernays and Henry will be up on the other ResoM starter.
